Well that's a relief...

Apparently we won't use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear power. Funny, I hadn't realized we ever planned to do that. Don't we consider nuclear weapons as defensive (MAD and all that?). I'd have thought that ruled out a first strike with nuclear munitions.

Of course, we can still use thermobaric bombs on non-nuclear countries. Now able to reach the yield of small nuclear war-heads, thermobaric bombs are much more environmentally friendly. I think this is a good thing. (Some light reading: the 44 ton thermobaric weapon used by Russia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_of_all_bombs)
